5.2.3 CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS______________________________________________________________
Perform the following procedure to clean the fiber connector:
- Beforecleaning the fiber connector, all electrical power must be removed.
- Leave protective cap on and cleanthe fiber connector exterior with optical cleaner, wipe it with a clean optical wipe and dry with compressed air.
- Place fiber connectorin the holder of the microscope.
- Place pressureon the center of the securing arm before tightening the locking screw, as shown in .
- Place the cap face down on a clean surface.
- Focus the microscope onto the connector surface.
- Use light source to illuminate the face of the connector so that the light is reflected from the surface of the microscope. This is achieved if you see a bright golden shine from the IPG (yellow cable) connector end-face or ablue surface for the connector.
- Inspect the surfacecarefully. Any contamination might lead to dark spots on the surface and eventual fiber failure. If contamination is visible on the quartz block, continue to the next step. Proceed to Step 14 if there is no contamination visible.
- Try to blow away the dust withcompressed air from the side.
- While wearing powder free gloves, fold the lint free optical wipe into halves until it is roughly 1×1½” rectangle).Put a few drops of optical cleaner onto the lint free optical cleaning wipe on the folded edge of the wipe as indicated.
- Re-inspect the lens.
- Repeatstep 10 with Acetone if lens is still contaminated.
- Ifnecessary, put a drop of Acetone onto a cleaning swab and gently wipe away contamination in a circular motion being careful not to scratch the lens. Then repeat from Step 10.
- Repeat above cleaning steps until all contamination is removed. This cleaning procedure can be stopped at any time if a good result has already been achieved. After fiber connector is clean, use compressed air to clean the protective sleeve and install onto the connector.
- If the fiber is not to be connected immediately with a suitable optical component, use compressed air to clean the protection cap and install it over the fiber end.

TROUBLESHOOTING
6.1 | Introduction
6.2 | Error Conditions
6.1 INTRODUCTION
The device consist of two sub-systems, the laser module and the chassis.
- Thelaser module includes the communication interface and controller which provides all the monitors and status bits reported through the computer interface and webpage.
- Thechassis consists of the housekeeping and laser power supplies and the interlock controls. The status of the chassis can only be determined through the front panel LED status indicators (power on/off, emissions on/off, error) and rear panel remote control options via computer interface (25pin male connector), RS232 (9-pin male connector) or Ethernet connection.
There is no direct communication between the laser module and the chassis. While the laser module receives powerfrom the chassis, troubleshooting requires interrupting the status reported from the laser module through the computer interface (25-pin connector) and the chassis front panel indicators.
The chassis front panel LED status indicators provide the first level of operational information.
- POWER and EMISSION: When these indicators are on (lit), the chassis has provided power to the laser module and the laser module is signaling that emission is on.
- ERROR:When this indicator is on (lit), there is an error either from the laser module or the chassis. The error can be determined by using the computer interface to read the status through the serial commands or webpage, IPG IG337 Web User Utility.

PSG Pulse Editor Main Screen
Pulse Editing
For the following section, please pay attention to the Energy indicator in the Status panel, if it glows red that means you have exceeded the pulse energy limit and automatic correction has occurred, which mean your pulse is being changed automatically. To avoid pulse energy limits, either shorten your pulse widths, or reduce the value of Time Scale in the Profile panel.
Change Time Scale value to zoom in and out then use the time shift controls and alignment cursors for more accurate editing, and always use the Time and Emission indicators in the Status panel for guidance.
Please note that every time a change is made to the pulse, the Pulse Width and Energy indicator are updated to reflect the current sketched pulse, PSG will not allow you to exceed the limits established in the Laser Configuration.
A laser emission pulse is a custom time-based emission power signal, constrained by an output sample time, maximum power, maximum energy and minimum current (power) threshold, all of which are preconfigured in the laser. PSG allows sketching of pulse points, and automatically fills in pulse (power level) lines, and computes all the emission pulse characteristics simultaneously, it also perform auto-correction in case constraints are violated.
Please note the pulses are not zeroed visually when they go under the power threshold, although that‟s not reflected in the pulse energy calculation.
Sketching a Pulse
For simple applications, a single Pulse program may be required. The following procedure demonstrates how to create and load a single pulse program.
Shifting a Pulse
The Modulation panel in PSG allows you to manipulate the sketched pulse shapes to create new variations, this has many advantages, including saving time and achieving better symmetry.
- Start by sketching a preliminary pulse, preferably an alternating one, such as a square or sine wave.
- In the Modulation panel, set a certain Emission Step percentage value, and then click Emission Shift Up or Emission Shift Down to introduce an emission offset to the pulse.
- In the Modulation panel, set a certain Time Step value, and then click Time Shift Right or Time Shift Left to introduce a time offset to the pulse. Please not that if the chart is exceeded, the pulse will be stored into Left or Right pulse buffers (“LB” and “RB” located on the top right of the pulse chart). The corresponding buffer will change to a green color if they contain pulse data.
-
In the Modulation panel, set a certain Emission Scale Ref percentage value, it should be the effective zero point of your pulse to get the best result, for example if you are modulating a sine wave, you would set it to be in the center point. Also, set an Emission Scale percentage value then click Expand Emission or Compress Emission to scale effective emission with respect to the reference point.
-
In the Modulation panel, set a certain Time Scale Ref value, it should be the effective zero point of your pulse to get the best result. Also, set a Time Scale value then click Expand Time or Compress Time to scale effective time with respect to the reference point.
Note: Because of the sample time constraint, scaling can be unsymmetrical, and there could be a small range of ineffective scaling factors, all that is due to the sample approximation during the calculations. It is strongly recommended to save the original pulse prior to modulating a pulse.
Pulse Comparison
It is useful to compare and contrast different variations of a pulse, especially when performing modulation on a pulse. There are two ways to perform this comparison:
- Using two instances of PSG: At least one of which has to be started in an Offline session, then the two application windows can be compared side to side.
- The Snapshot Interface: This interface allows comparison of two pulses on the same chart:
- Click “Cap” in the Snapshot panel to capture (save) the original pulse
- Modulate or change the pulse
- Click “Cap” in the Snapshot panel to switch to the original pulse, any changes to the pulse here will be ignored.
- Click “Cur” in the Snapshot panel to switch to the pulse in progress, any changes to the pulse here will be saved.
- Click and hold “Duo” in the Snapshot panel to see both the original pulse and current modified pulse in the same chart each will have an identifying color.
- Click “Rst” in the Snapshot panel to reset the interface. Note: This will set currently viewed pulse as the current pulse and remove the pulse that is not in the current view.
Pulse Storage and Recall
On Laser
Note: This section requires connection to the laser. It is important to write pulses to the laser in order to use and activate them.
- First sketch a pulse, then from the top menu, select Laser Operations->Write Profile.
- Select a slot to write to then click Write Profile, then enter a name to save and click Write Profile.
- The pulse data will be encoded and transmitted to the laser for storage.
- To recall, select Laser Operations->Read Profile from the top menu, then select a slot and click Read Profile, the pulse will be fetched, decoded, and displayed on the chart. The displayed pulse may appear differently as any unused time in the chart will be removed as only the effective pulse width is saved.
- To delete a pulse, select Laser Operation->Delete Profile, select a slot then click Delete Profile.
Note: You will not be allowed to delete a pulse profile that has an attachment status greater than zero, which means that the pulse is used by an existing sequence or sequences. However, you will be allowed to overwrite them if you accept to bypass the warning. You will only be allowed to delete or make changes to a pulse if the pulse profile status is “Idle”. The “In Use” status identifies that the laser is configured with that pulse.
On Host PC
- In the top menu, select File->Save Profile, then select a name and path for the saved pulse.
- To recall, select File->Load Profile from the top menu then select the name and path of the file to load.
- Alternatively, you can use the CSV (comma-separated value) file version of the load and save from the main menu; the advantage is being able to modify the pulse data using a program like MS Excel. The following is the general format of a Pulse profile in a CSV format, consisting of tags and data values.
Required (header) tags:
[S] — Sample time in ms
[L] — Number of samples
[D] — Start of comma separated percent emission data
Optional tags:
[N] — Profile name (The file name is the default)
[C] — Comments, PSG will ignore, optional.
[M] — Pulse profile metadata
Example file (viewed in text editor):
[C]This is a test pulse profile,
[N]testProfile001,
[S]0.050,
[L]10,
[D]50.5, 60, 50, 60, 70, 80, 20, 0, 20, 30
Single Pulse Activation:
Note: This section requires connection to the laser.
- After storing a pulse to the laser, make sure the E-stop button is released on the laser and then press the green button to turn on the power supply
Note: Both Analog and Modulation modes must be set to “Off” to configure the pulse mode and are accessed in the Setup Submenu touch- screen. - On the laser touch-screen, select the Setup Submenu->Pulse Setting->Waveform Mode
- Toggle Waveform Pulse Mode to Enabled, and Single Pulse Selected (button displaying “Single Pulse”), then use the Up/Down arrows to select a specific pulse.
Note: If no pulse profile is saved the laser’s pulse profile list then “!! No Profiles Available!!” will be displayed. - Pulse Information/Preview (Optional)
- To get information about the pulse, click on the pulse browser button. This is the button with the name of the pulse. Once the information page appears, you can use the arrows to scroll thru all available pages.
- Click anywhere in the text space to go to the Preview page, here you can see the shape of the pulse.
- Click Return twice to go back to the Waveform page.
- Click Configure & Return.
It is important to configure the laser with the selected pulse (once) before usage. - After the configuration is complete, click Return twice to go back to the main page. Then click Emission, and then click OK to confirm and start countdown. The selected pulse will be emitted after the countdown. Click Emission again to clear the status.
Sequence Editing:
Note: This section requires connection to the laser
A pulse sequence is an arrangement of pulses, designed for finite or infinite repeats, and organized into steps, each step has an assigned an existing pulse, pre-delay and repeat amount. PSG will check each created sequence for any Average Power and other laser limitation violation, and will prompt the user to make adjustments.
Building a Sequence:
- Start the Sequence Editor by selecting it from the top menu
- In the Arrangement panel, click Add to add a sequence step
- In the added step, enter a Pre-Delay value, select a Pulse Profile and enter a number of Repeats
(number of times the selected Pulse Profile with Pre-delay must be repeated consequently). - Click Add again to add more sequence steps in the same fashion.
- You can set the number of sequence repeats by setting Repeats and Intervals in the Sequence panel.
- The preview of the sequence will be refreshed when changes are made to the pulse. Additionally, laser limitation violations are re-checked.
- A Blank profile is a special “null profile” space holder for introducing delay only as a sequence step.
Modifying a Sequence:
- In the Arrangement panel, highlight an existing step, then click:
- Insert to insert a new sequence step before the selected one
- Move Up to shift up the selected sequence step in the sequence order
- Move Down to shift down the selected sequence step in the sequence order
- Remove to delete the selected sequence step Sequence Storage and Recall
Note: This entire section requires connection to the laser.
